Senior Compliance Manager

At Salix Homes, keeping our residents safe is at the heart of everything we do.

As our Senior Compliance Manager, you’ll lead the delivery of our landlord property compliance services across a portfolio of over 8,000 homes in Salford, ensuring our homes remain safe and our statutory and regulatory responsibilities are met.

This is a senior leadership role with real influence.

You’ll ensure compliance across gas safety and heating, electrical safety, water hygiene and Legionella, asbestos, lifts, and mechanical and electrical systems.

Working closely with a dedicated compliance team and specialist contractors, you’ll set the standard for how statutory inspections, testing, servicing, remedial works and compliance activities are planned, delivered and evidenced.

You’ll provide clear, confident assurance to our Leadership Team and relevant governance groups on the status of compliance across the organisation, alongside performance updates on the operational delivery of compliance services.

You’ll bring strong knowledge and experience of landlord property compliance from statutory inspection and servicing programmes to contractor management, compliance assurance and regulatory risk—and you’ll use it to make a tangible difference to the safety and wellbeing of our residents every day.
